A lovely hotel, that was well-appointed with spacious rooms, and well served by very friendly staff. Really enjoyed the pool as well, and thought that the breakfasts/ teas/ lunch were delicious. The location was ideal as well, being very close to the coastal path, the museums and numerous restaurants.

The hotel's location is excellent, as it faces the old Harbour, and several restaurants, as well as shops are nearby. The hotel serms a little dated, and is expensive. The staff is very helpful. Myvroom was very clean.
